Program helps women with cancer ‘Look Good… Feel Better’

MOORESVILLE, Ind. – St. Francis Hospital will host a free workshop for women with cancer from noon to 2 p.m., March 2 and May 4, at the St. Francis Mooresville Cancer Center.

The Look Good…Feel Better workshop teaches women with cancer beauty techniques to help restore their appearance and self-image during chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Licensed cosmetologists lead small groups, usually consisting of six to 10 women, through practical, hands-on experience. Women learn about makeup techniques, skin care, nail care, and options related to hair loss such as wigs, turbans and scarves. Each patient receives a free kit of cosmetics for use during and after the workshop.

The workshop is supported by the American Cancer Society, Personal Care Products Council Foundation and the National Cosmetology Association. Family members and caregivers are also welcome to attend.
